How do I find the correct section in the CMS that I need to edit?

  • Browse to the web page in your web browser and take a look at the breadcrumb trail at the top of the page. It will look something like this:
    Example web page showing the breadcrumb trail beween the AU logo and the heading 1 on the page
  • The breadcrumb trail goes across the top of the page above the main heading and tells users where they are within the site.
  • It is useful for you when looking for your page in the CMS site structure because the breadcrumb trail is made up of section names.
  • In the example above you can see that this section is called ‘Learning and Teaching', and working towards the left you can then see that it is inside the section called ‘Undergraduate Study’, which is in the section called ‘Study with Us’, which is in the section called ‘Department of History & Welsh History'.
  • In the CMS site structure, you can already see the main department section (‘Department of History & Welsh History'), so now you would need to expand ‘Study with Us’, and within that expand ‘Undergraduate Study’ and in there you would see a sub-section called ‘Learning and Teaching’. This is the section representing the page you want to edit.A section within the CMS, expanded to show the sub-sections listed beneath it
